• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    When stitching leather if you don’t have punches for the stitch holes you can mark them with a fork and use an awl to make the holes, I call it the fork awl method. Pete

    What I have fixed today

    Not so much of a fix I ordered a replacement mains adapter for my neighbours outside lights the Earth pin had snapped off their existing one so you couldn’t get it into the socket. I put them up on the front of the house for her as well. You can get most things from Amazon. Pete
